Summary Web Inspector: Unhide hidden characters (second)

Reported 2021-01-21 15:04:56 PST
This feature was actually implemented on Bug 93888 and then removed on Web Inspector UI revamp landed after Blink's fork so I am filling another issue as a request for revival of the work has been done there inside WebKit! My request originally there, > It would be nice if inspector could make hidden characters (like ‎ ‏ ‌ ‍   ...) visible and show them to web developer for better debugging. > You can see list of hidden characters on http://getfirebug.com/developer/api/firebug1.6X/symbols/src/content_firebug_lib.js.html line 2186 to 2194. After the fork I've filed https://crbug.com/463642 and https://crbug.com/460044 against Chrome so the list eventually ended up to be https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:third_party/devtools-frontend/src/front_end/elements/ElementsTreeOutline.js;l=1679?q=MappedCharToEntity&ss=chromium which I think it is safe to use the updated here instead. I'll try to send a patch about this (actually it is as easy as https://pastebin.com/1hVMRLD3 ) however others are also welcomed if I happened to forget about this.
